  potential employees.
Goals of Recruitment

qualified applicants are those applicants who are having abilities
that are perfect match with the job requirements.

[B] To discourage non qualified applicants
Second goal of recruitment is to avoid nonqualified applicants.

and job specification most of the applicants having irrelevant
qualifications are eliminated from the list of potential applicants
which makes recruiting process more effective and easier.

  objective, job-related standards.
• With few exceptions, jobs must be open to all individuals.

   matters, then introduces the new employee to his/her supervisor, who familiarizes
   the new employee with the workplace to help reduce first day jitters.
• Welcome party

       organization, the organization doesn’t want them to change, provide
